Re: BUILD 10166 : BUGS Thread
Okay, here's my take on the build (Lumia 635):
I basically use my phone for college work, calling, texting, and the occasional game. I do not use skype or any video call apps. I found some bugs that would be more of an occasional annoyance than a real show-stopper. Here's the list:
Lock Screen: I changed the lock screen notification icons to an email. When I tried to change them back to anything (blank, other app), the settings app crashed. No big deal for me, I just check the live tile instead.
Outlook Mail: Speaking of live tiles, there's a bug in Outlook Mail that you have to be real careful about. You can pin an email folder to the start screen from Outlook Mail. However, if you want to un-pin it, be sure to un-pin it from the Outlook Mail app only. If you unpin it from the start screen, Outlook Mail will still say that it is still pinned and you will never be able to re-pin that folder again. I warned you, be careful with this one. However, this app does fix the annoying issue I found in 8.1 where if you sync your email inside the app and new mail comes in, the live tile on your start screen will still say "1" until you close the mail app and re-open it.
Gmail in the Outlook Mail app works, but you must run with the default mail settings. That is, mail import/export settings. You can still choose which folders sync and set the account to have notifications in the action center. I sent myself several "Hi" test emails to prove this works.
Battery saver: live tile works, but it doesn't refresh until you open the battery saver app.
Cortana: Does not have a live tile yet.
Pictures: this build will not see photos on your SD card when choosing backgrounds unless they are in the same folder structure as on your main phone (Pictures/Camera Roll OR Pictures/Saved Pictures)
Camera: Lumia Camera will not update either. It is still functional, but it does not update. Office Lens still works perfectly either way. For me, any camera app is doable.
Animations: They still need some work, but what I am looking for is functionality. A little animation glitch here and there means nothing to me.
Store works almost perfectly, besides the note below. Crashes very little. Apps are downloadable. The full Office mobile suite works, including PDF viewer and Office Lens.
Very Important: Make sure you remove all the excess bloatware that your carrier loads on your phone. It will not update in the Windows 10 store. I learned that even if you re-flash your phone to 8.1 first with the Windows Phone Recovery Utility, your carrier bloatware will still be on your phone.
Overall, I can say that this is a very stable build. I'm glad I installed it.
